Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix: 2015 Draft and Short Season

NOTE: As of 11/9/15, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects the changes from the opening of the 2015 short season through the conclusion of the playoffs. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the active roster matrix for 2015-2016 off-season, click here.

With the June 23rd Opening Day for Johnson City, the last St. Louis Cardinals minor league team to take the field in the 2015 season, it is time for another refresh of the Roster Matrix.

This version incorporates the 2015 Draft and will reflect the changes made from the start of 2015 short season play until after the playoffs at all levels are complete. The previous matrix reflects the rosters as they evolved during the 2015 regular season to date.

If you are new to the blog and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary:

As 2015 short season play opened, the St. Louis Cardinals had 273 players under contract from top to bottom, including a full 40-man roster. The latter are called out in bold. The matrix places each of the 273 at his assigned level in the system as well as by position. It is kept updated daily or as transactions occur.

This version of the Matrix also includes the 2015 draft class, including their signing status and roster assignments, if applicable. Rounds taken are listed in parens following the player name, or (FA) for recent free agent signees. Unsigned and tentatively signed players are noted but not included in the totals until official.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization plus multiple years of history.

Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.
